2 Hydration Inspired by Nature For Asian skin

3 Clarins Research launches the HydraQuench range for optimal hydration at all skin levels, all day long.

4 The : hydration inspired by Nature On Earth as in skin, life and beauty are born from water. On Earth as in skin, optimal water supply depends not only on the capacity of different levels to absorb and retain water but also on the quality of water reservoirs that lie deep down: the water table found below the ground and the skin s dermal reserves. Clarins Research presents the first skin care range inspired by Nature and formulated with the most effective, moisturizing plant ingredients, that acts simultaneously at all skin levels to revive vitality, radiance and softness. Ideal water levels in skin 13% Corneal layer 65-70% Epidermis 80% Dermis

5 HydraQuench range: optimal hydration at all skin levels, all day long, for each skin type. At all skin levels Ideal skin hydration shows on the skin s surface but it starts deep down. Soft, radiant, young-looking skin depends first and foremost on the dermal water supply that flows to the epidermis and corneal layer. By helping to replenish the water reservoirs that lie deep down in skin, HydraQuench skin care acts on the very source of all skin levels hydration. All day long Skin s capacity to keep hydration levels stable depends on the quality of its leak-protection barriers. To ensure stable skin hydration, a certain amount of water from the dermis must be sealed into the upper layers of the epidermis. By strengthening the barrier capacity of the corneal layer and hydrolipidic film to prevent excessive water evaporation, HydraQuench skin care ensures long-lasting hydration regardless of surrounding pollution, stress or climate conditions. For each skin type Only multi-level skin care, adapted to each skin type, can deliver optimal hydration. Thanks to a bi-phase serum, easily absorbed by the body as it is inspired by the dual hydric and lipidic nature of skin structures, HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase helps restore even the most dehydrated skin. Complementary HydraQuench skin care optimizes this intensive hydration action. They also satisfy the specific needs of combination and dry skin types and are perfectly adaptable to Asian beauty routines.

6 The differences between ideally hydrated skin and dehydrated skin? Ideally hydrated skin An undamaged hydrolipidic film. A balanced combination of water and lipids protects skin from external aggression. An undamaged skin barrier. Linked by lipids present in intercellular cement, cells in the corneal layer strengthen protection against loss of water in skin. Normal production of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs). Produced during the transformation of epidermal cells into corneal cells, NMFs capture and retain water in cells present in the corneal layer. A dermal matrix rich in hyaluronic acid. Thanks to its ability to retain water, hyaluronic acid is skin s main water reservoir. The water it contains supplies the epidermis and corneal layer. Hydrolipidic film Lipidic cement Corneocytes Keratinocytes NMFs Hyaluronic acid

7 Dehydrated skin Damage to the hydrolipidic film. Reduced protection against external aggression and an increase in water loss. Damage to the skin barrier. The slightest presence of intercellular lipids disorganizes the corneal layer and increases water loss. The production of NMFs slows down. Water is no longer able to fix onto cells in the corneal layer, water loss accelerates. Hydrolipidic film Lipidic cement Corneocytes NMFs Keratinocytes Low levels of hyaluronic acid in the dermis. Water reserves in the dermis diminish. Hyaluronic acid

8 A synergy of high-performance ingredients Hyaluronic acid with two molecular weights, for improved protection of the skin surface and replenished dermal water reservoirs. Katafray extract to restore skin s barrier effect and the production of natural moisturizing factors.

9 Hyaluronic acid with two molecular weights for double action hydration Obtained from wheat and easily absorbed by the body, the hyaluronic acid complex formulated by Clarins Research is an innovative combination of two types of hyaluronic acid: one with a high molecular weight (hmw) and the other with a low molecular weight (lmw). The combination of both ensures hydration on the skin surface and in the dermis. Skin s water reservoir Hyaluronic acid is a molecule belonging to the glycosaminoglycan family and a major component of the extracellular dermal matrix. Thanks to its specific chemical structure, it acts as a sponge-molecule that retains several times its weight in water. Corneal layer hmw hyaluronic acid: improved protection of the skin surface Its high molecular weight creates a non-occlusive, viscoelastic film on skin that prevents excessive evaporation of water and helps keep up optimal Epidermis hydration levels on the skin surface. This ensures more supple, smoother skin. lmw hyaluronic acid: replenishes the dermal reservoir Its low molecular weight ensures optimal absorption in skin and links specific receptors in dermal cells that result in the natural production of hyaluronic acid. This replenishes the main water reservoir in skin and ensures long-lasting hydration and firm, toned skin. Dermis

10 Katafray Cedrelopsis grevei

11 Katafray, the housing and healing tree Known locally as katafray, the cedrelopsis grevei tree grows in the dry forests of Madagascar. Its pale wood is widely used in the construction of cabins while bundles of its highly aromatic bark are a common sight on market stands. The tree plays a central role in local medicine, and also in the beauty rituals of Madagascan women who use it as a mask. Fair trade and responsible development Developed exclusively for Clarins, katafray bark extract is part of a fair trade and sustainable development programme. A fixed amount of its sale price goes to Clarins local partners for the implementation of projects to benefit local communities in the production region. Even if katafray trees grow back quickly, new trees are automatically replanted. Boost the production of filaggrin with katafray extract Filaggrin is a protein found in epidermal cells that boosts the barrier function of the corneal layer and also plays a role in the formation of natural moisturizing factors (NMFs). In vitro studies carried out at Clarins Cellular Biology Laboratory have demonstrated how katafray extract results in the significant expression of this protein that is essential for skin hydration. Control skin explant not treated with katafray extract. A low level of fluorescent green indicates weak expression of filaggrin. Skin explant treated with katafray bark extract. After 7 days, a high level of fluorescent green indicates a higher expression of filaggrin.

12 HydraQuench Intensive Serum Bi-Phase: Intensive rehydrating treatment for young-looking skin that is full of vitality A unique, bi-phase texture, unrivalled for its lightness, comfort and excellent skin tolerance. Improved hydration action at 4 levels: surface skin, corneal layer, epidermis and dermis. An effective booster for skin care applied next.

13 The leader in rehydrating skin care A unique, feel-good texture that makes Intensive Serum Bi-Phase the essential daily care for skin dehydrated by age or the stresses of modern life. To restore their capacity to retain water, the formula includes two specific ingredients. A biomimetic, bi-phase texture The Serum Bi-Phase texture is a Clarins Innovation inspired by the composition of hydrolipidic film and the dual hydric and lipidic nature of skin cells. It combines 1/5 of an oil phase (the upper part) with 4/5 of a water phase (the lower part). By shaking the bottle before use, the two phases combine. The serum absorbs immediately thanks to its affinity with skin. The action of hyaluronic acid and katafray extract is strengthened by two effective repair ingredients Inca peanut extract Balance is restored in the hydrolipidic film, the barrier function in skin is strengthened Obtained from a plant that grows in the Peruvian Andes, inca peanut extract is very rich in essential fatty acids that skin cannot produce. To make up for weaknesses in hydrolipidic film and intercellular cement, it strengthens skin defences against aggression and limits loss of water. Chondrus crispus extract More water in the heart of cells Two of the components in this red algae floridoside and taurine encourage the supply and retention of water at the heart of dehydrated cells in the epidermis.

14 Improved hydrating and protective action at 4 levels Surface cutanée 1. Protects the skin surface (hmw hyaluronic acid) Couche cornée Epiderme 2.

15 An effective booster for skin care applied next. In a study carried out among a panel of 12 volunteers, water levels in skin were measured using a corneometer on one area of skin treated with HydraQuench Cream and a second area treated both with Intensive Serum Bi-Phase and HydraQuench Cream. Results show that applying Intensive Serum Bi-Phase before HydraQuench Cream increases hydration effectiveness by 33.6% compared to when only the cream is applied. > % hydration two hours after application of Intensive Serum Bi-Phase + HydraQuench Cream. > 79.76% hydration two hours after application of HydraQuench Cream.

26 Clarins Herbarium > The Chondrus crispus Chondrus crispus Found on the coasts of the North Atlantic, Chondrus crispus belongs to the red algae family. Widely used in the food and cosmetics industries for its stabilizing properties, it is also used in the field of medicine for its wealth of vitamins, minerals and amino acids with antirheumatic, mineral-replenishing and invigorating actions. For Clarins Laboratories, the interest of Chondrus crispus lies in the presence of two substances taurine and floridoside which it synthesizes to survive in extreme conditions (intense cold, reduced light). Energizing and protective constituents also make it possible to plump up the skin by rehydrating cells. Alpine willow herb Epilobium fleischeri This variety of epilobium blossoms in the confines of glaciers, in the midst of the piles of stones and rocks known as moraines. To grow and multiply in this mineral environment, alpine willow herb has developed ingenious treasures: powerful underground roots, capable of capturing the water buried under the rocks, but also the capacity to reproduce itself by manufacturing new shoots epilobium clones of a sort that are behind its unexpected proliferation in this hostile space. Its flowers in bloom brighten the surrounding gravel with bright pink touches. From a medicinal point of view, it is used to treat digestive disorders, burns and cutaneous irritation. In cosmetics, in addition to its recognized soothing action, Clarins Research has demonstrated alpine willow herb s capacity to slow down the development of the enzyme responsible for sebum production. Pomegranate Punica granatum Native to Iran, where it is said to have been domesticated some 5,000 years ago, the pomegranate became the favourite fruit of travellers at a very early date. Easy to transport, it allowed you to quench your thirst during long journeys on foot thanks to its tough outer shell, the pericarp, which perfectly conserves the freshness of its 800 or so seeds saturated with water. Through its many wanderings, it thus spread into Asia and then throughout the Mediterranean basin, where it became the symbol of fertility and love. Nowadays, the pomegranate is of interest to scientists for its antioxidant properties and their role in the prevention of blood circulation disorders. In cosmetics, its pericarp rich in tannins is recognised for its ability to tighten the pores and control skin shine. Katafray Cedrelopsis grevei The katafray is a tree found across Madagascar, and its elegant silhouette is a common sight in the arid forests of the south and west of the Grande Ile. Its light-coloured wood is as resistant as ebony and widely used in local building. In traditional Madagascan medicine, a drink prepared from the bark is reputed to have tonic and febrifuge benefits and its essential oil is known for its fortifying and soothing actions. It was recently discovered that katafray bark extract helps improve the quality of the corneal layer and encourages the skin s natural hydration mechanisms. The extract used by Clarins Laboratories developed exclusively for the brand and protected by its fair trade policy is obtained through a process which preserves the biodiversity of tropical forests.

27 Arctic cloudberry Rubus chamaemorus Small and discreet, it hides its diaphanous pink colour in the icy peat bogs of northern forests. For a long time, it played a decisive nutritional role for the local population: in this extremely poor farming environment, it was one of the rare sources of vitamin C needed to ensure they had a balanced diet. The oil extracted from the seeds of the cloudberry is incorporated into Clarins skin care products. Thanks to essential fatty acids and vitamins, it soothes and regenerates the skin, while hydrating and protecting it from free radicals. Inca peanut Plukenetia volubilis A climbing plant native to the Peruvian Andes, plukenetia volubilis is commonly known as inca peanut. In fact, the seeds of its fruit were traditionally eaten by the Andean population for their stimulating and fortifying properties. The oil that they produced was also used for soothing, relaxing massages. Recent research has revealed that plukenetia oil (also called Inca Inchi oil) is the only plant oil to contain the two essential fatty acids omega 3 and omega 6 in such a large amount. In Clarins products, inca peanut seeds help nourish and repair the skin and maintain cohesion of epidermal cells. Sorbier Pyrus sorbus In times gone by, the sorbier tree was considered sacred and believed to chase away evil spirits and bring happiness to lovers. These popular beliefs were no doubt due to the perfect harmony of its majestic, spreading shape. Its pear-shaped fruit has a pungent, acid flavour and is commonly used in a decoction for its fortifying and veinotonic properties. Its very dense wood is popular with both carpenters and cabinetmakers. However, it is the buds of the sorbier tree which are most sought after. In these embryonic tissues, Clarins Laboratories discovered active principles with incredible properties: they improve the quality of the circulatory system, stimulate the microcirculation and ensure lasting protection of blood capillaries. Clarins Anti-Pollution Complex Succory dock-cress: increases the skin s defences against environmental aggressions. Rhodiola rosea: ensures high protection against all biological stress factors. White tea: protects against harmful free radicals.
